indeed - the victim, Elaine, was carefully crossing the street safely and exercising normal due care.

Headlights illuminate at least 200 feet, plus victim was crossing under streetlanps.

200 feet at 35 MPH is about 4 seconds,

negligent homicide

negligent homicide

The police have so far given the safety driver a pass even after viewing the video. They were actually quite quick about it. I am sure they are still reviewing it. I've read AZ doesn't have very strict distracted driving laws if any. That might be one of the reasons they are testing in AZ. If the homicide had occurred in my town, I suspect the driver would be facing negligent homicide charges.

Huh! She walked in front of an oncoming car, with its headlilghts on, in dark clothes on a dark street, at night.

It was *not* at a crosswalk.

That is not exercising normal due care.

I think sensors failed, but Elaine was hardly exercising normal due care.
